Double review: Solnegre- Anthems For The Grand Collapse

Metalcatto

Spain isn’t particularly known for its Doom Metal. That doesn’t mean it’s bad, but it does mean that Solnegre‘s Anthems For The Grand Collapse arrives with little pre-existing noise around it, which honestly feels more like a gift than a curse. I’m approaching this thing with no preconceptions or prejudices, just expecting to get trashed in all the right ways. However, Death/Doom can be so derivative at times that there’s still some level of worry lurking in my dark heart. Let’s see if that concern was justified.
